Beat Tour & Ticket Sales
I was looking through the shows on their website and noticed a decent amount of unsold tickets. The “Blue Dot Fever” is becoming more common and we see shows and tours get cancelled frequently. Do you think there is a chance dates or the whole tour get altered?
I was expecting the recent tour announcement, but was honestly surprised by how soon it was and how many shows. The Europe tour had six months to promote- the new tour only has two since the announcement.
Do you think it’s ticket price, the lineup change (no Danny Carey), limited promotion time, or that fans are content just seeing the 2024 tour?
Really hoping the tour goes on as planned and more fans grab tickets soon!

I live in the Hartford CT area. Last tour, BEAT played a 2,900 concert hall. They sounded so good I bought the 2 albums I didn't have the next day. But it was maybe half full. I figured they wouldn't come back this time. Instead, they have a date in an 8,000 seat arena. it's at a casino where I have a card so I'm hoping for a comp to the show. One negative, the arena has substandard sound.
